As transportation planning and programming become increasingly complex, communication among different divisions of the agencies is becoming even more important. This paper describes an effort to apply business process modeling to aid the integration of planning and programming of construction projects for a state transportation agency, metropolitan planning organizations, and related agencies. Business process models are developed according to the IDEF modeling standard that is used in Computer Associates AllFusion Process Modeler. IDEF modeling provides structured documentation about the processes of the agency while improving the transparency and validity of agency activities. Furthermore, IDEF modeling helps to determine bottlenecks in the current processes and supports the prioritization of investments in reengineering and associated information technologies. IDEF modeling enables employees at different levels of the agency to understand the business processes of their professional colleagues. Several lessons of the effort are as follows, (i) IDEF modeling can be translated efficiently to simulation models that provided increased detail of critical activities. (ii) The use of information technology is recommended to provide for real-time monitoring of selected planning and programming activities, (iii) Sources of risk to various agency activities need to be modeled explicitly by theoretical extension of the current IDEF methodology. Numerous examples and case studies are provided in the paper.","PeriodicalId":317634,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE Design Symposium, Systems and Information Engineering","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133964192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UGS will improve the ability of tactical units to collect information and are expected to play an increasingly important role. Sensors are of several types, including acoustic, seismic, magnetic, electric field, and imaging. It is expected that deployed sensors will be self-organizing to form a sensor field. Because of power and communication limitations, it is anticipated that the sensor field will be required to process data locally, and report only the results of this analysis. Given detection, the report will include the classification or identification of an object transiting the field, as well as the field's self-assessed level of confidence in the estimate. This study examined the level of confidence required before a decision maker would reallocate resources based on the report. Combat arms officers were provided a tactical situation and the sensor field level of confidence required before commitment of forces was elicited. A computer model was then used to investigate what sensor mixtures and densities were required to meet this threshold. The impact of correct and incorrect decisions for a tactical situation was examined using high-resolution combat model. Additionally, the responsible unit level and doctrinal employment were examined.","PeriodicalId":317634,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE Design Symposium, Systems and Information Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115612864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
